Crushing

For unknown reasons the app is crushing constantly. It will not work on iPad Pro at all.

12 String tuner

I love this app it’s exactly what I wanted!
When you want to tune all you need is the correct notes to tune each string to. I spent along time going through other apps and YouTube videos that explain things but didn’t give me what I wanted. This is simple and therefore easy to follow.

FAQ

What is this app for?

This app is designed to help you tune your 12-string guitar to the standard eEaAdDgGBBEE tuning. It achieves this by playing the correct note for each string, allowing you to match your guitar's pitch by adjusting the tuning pegs. It can also be used to tune a standard 6-string guitar.

How do I use the tuner?

To use the tuner, simply touch the note corresponding to the string you wish to tune. Then, turn the tuning pegs on your guitar until the sound produced by your guitar matches the note played by the app. For best results, make several passes tuning each string, as adjusting one string can slightly affect the pitch of others.

Can this app tune other instruments?

While this app is specifically designed for 12-string and 6-string guitars, the developer offers other applications for tuning various instruments such as violins, cellos, banjos, mandolins, double basses, violas, ukuleles, and standard basses.

Is this app free to use?

Yes, based on the provided information, this application is free to use and does not contain in-app purchases or advertisements.

What is the standard tuning for a 12-string guitar supported by this app?

This app supports the standard eEaAdDgGBBEE tuning for 12-string guitars. In this tuning, the lowercase letters indicate strings tuned one octave higher than their paired thicker string. For the first two pairs, both strings are tuned to the same octave.
